Hi,

Since Flash 8 FileReference API was introduced, and file upload/download through Flash finally became possible. The API has one troubling limitation though, which is the 100mb limit for file transfer.

I’m developing a browser based file transfer utility, and I would have wanted to implement it with solely Flash. It has to have the ability to manage far larger files than 100mb. Does anyone know a way to overcome this limitation, or have another solution for file upload/download through Flash 8?

Thanks already!
